0 Petey Pablo 0 Posted August 28, 2016 Why do you want run hercules with root ? You just can't. You don't need. The solution on this is to create another user to change the root? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Monsieur Panda 38 Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Yup, must easier for everything, more safety. And you can't break your server. If you don't know how to do, check my guide at B.6 but don't read after step C. From Step D it follows the old conf system so no need to do it, it won't work.

0 Dastgir 1246 Posted August 28, 2016 It was never recommended to run as root. However, we have recently changed source to disallow running it as root, instead of just giving a warning message. Creating a user in linux is not so hard, but merely few commands, which you can find in guide from previous post. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
